If a for-profit entity expends federal awards/grants under only one federal program or contract and the contract’s laws, regulations, or contract agreements do not require a financial statement audit of the for-profit entity, the for-profit entity may elect to have a program-specific audit of the federal award/grant.
A program-specific audit is limited to an individual federal program rather than the for-profit entity’s financial statements and federal programs. Consequently, the audit work and cost for a program-specific audit is less than would be required for an audit of the for-profit entity’s financial statements and federal programs.
A program-specific audit includes procedures related to internal controls and compliance requirements for the contract or grant program. Audit procedures are performed to determine whether the for-profit entity has complied with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the contract or grant agreements. The audit also includes procedures related to the for-profit entity’s internal controls over compliance with the contract requirements.
We are experienced in the program-specific audit practice area and regularly assist our clients with these engagements. Business Advisory and Consulting Services
